I always been super interested by wellness stuff and snake oil and why people believe in this so i was super stoked to see a series debunking these trends to maybe help some people realize that they are wasting money and energy in dreams and pseudo-science.

But they are not really debunking anything. You have a scientist that come on for 6 minutes telling you it's useless and dangerous for some episodes. But by the end of the episodes you completely forget about the scientific opinion or the woman who lost her husband and they go back to anecdotal evidence and how it maybe helped someone and it all finish with the person with the smile on their face saying it saved her life or whatever.

There is a slight glorification of the treatment talked about in each episode and i didn't really liked that.

And you never end an episode with a rock hard proof that something is useless or dangerous they leave everything to interpretation. I wanted them to go harder on the science and leave a little bit of the biased human experience of someone who goes there already believing it's gonna work.

It's alright i just hope it dosen't give the idea to vulnerable or deperate people to try these things.
